As large organizations ramp up their Windows 7 to 10 migrations, Microsoft has started rolling out new options for tackling common migration roadblocks.

 

In this episode, we cover what some of those new options are, including Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD). We also discuss some of the popular reasons why IT pros have been hesitant to upgrade and offer our perspective on how to make migration easier.

 

Ben Murphy, Director of Applied Engineering at Lakeside, joins us for the discussion. You can read his take on WVD on the Lakeside blog: https://www.lakesidesoftware.com/blog/lakeside-software-partners-microsoft-windows-virtual-desktop-azure-what-means-you
